WOMAN'S REALM.
BY ns., l. Il. BLANK, ASSOCIATE ED1ros,
Oh! Dat 'possum.

Under the ABOVE headlng the Sioux
City Journal gives an interesting ac-
count of an old colored lady living i'll
Sioux City and the 'possun supper she
gave. "Auntie'' Wqodin as she is fa-
,niliarly called, came to Sioux City sew
enteen years ago, and by hard toll has,
obtained comfortable home. She ID
now 6s years Old, was born a slave inN
Virginia and WAS freed BY the Emanr
|cipatioa pro claAation. Her husn,snd
SIC .i.s.; eldest son Mere sold from her long
bsforB her freedom came. Three re-
'mafning children live i'm Sioux City
aud the closing years Of her troubled
life PROMISE to he quiet and happy.
Seven years ago she gave the first
'possun supper to few friends and
each year since has found larger
number gathered under i1tr friendly
roof, unsirthis year the party invited
numbered sbout l25 guests. The sup
per was unique, consisting o. half q
dozen .possums from the sunny south
.uunberless turkeys, and oysters, in
TACT every thing that goes to make up
IA elegant meal to tempt the cultured
palate Of man. While the eating and
merry making were progressing a qlar-
q tie Of col"red jubilee singers trom
the Garretson hotel arrived and rem
.lered some excellent music.
After the feast was over Auptie
Wopdih was presented with beautl-
'ul window laInbrtqun, Il .Inut Cen
ter table and a purse Of silver. The
evening must have seemed Il contrast
indeed, TO the old slavery days when
there was nothing She coula call her
own.
AN article in u Pioneer Press Of late
late, headed "a sad-iron case, relates
tnat Mrs. Mary F Potts of Ottumwa.

the benefits of her invention. She Oh.
tained patents in 1870 and 1871 ON /. Set

Inaking money on them for years. She
is now in absolute poverty with an ir-
valid husband and family of children
70 support, while the sharp manutac-
turers IN the strength OF their opultnce
are trying to persuade the present con-
gress not to renew the patent in order
to escape paying a royalty. The house
committee on patents have recommends
ID that her patents be renewed for sew
enteen years, but the same recomnen-
iation has been made i'll previous years
s,ut no bill for her interests has sue
ceeded in getting through.

A 1920 the Council adjourned after
three hours spent in being torn with con-
flcting emotions. The thermometer in
the room stood at 95o, the stove being in
full blast. The rafting of the spoons in
the free ice cream being dispensed by the
Ladies Auxiliary of the 7. M. q. A. in
the next room, could be heard with lntol-
cradle distinctness. Through the glass
door which separated the rooms could be
seen lovely women filling horribly ugly men
these adjectives come from the malev-
olence of superintendent OF the cool
ing compound. The Council was frantic
to adjourn, but the Orators held them
with deadly grip. Every time pretty
face appeared at the glass door between
the rooms, one of the Orators would shoot
up from his desk and burst into Oratory.
Set speeches were made on schools, sewer
age, light. tinance-every conceivable sub
ject, and all this time the ice cream was
going. When at last the Council did adj
ofsalt and ice, altogether unpalatable; some
spoons and crockery wholly indiges5ible,
and some table cloths bearing aggravating
traces Of the late toothsome conflict. The
lovely girls, the Ice cream, the music and
the cake had all gone home and gone to
bed The Councilmen who had taken GU t
their guilds in the hope Of better things,
put in another chew and moved off sadly
to their homes.

Y. M. G. A. Notes.

The First Presbyterian church was well
filed On last Sunday evening, the occasion
being the regular "Public Services of the
Association. Mr. FL. M. McIlhany was
the leader. He read the chapter on the
"Beatitudes,' giving an exposition of the
lesson. and was followed by several others.
Rev. DR.. Halves in the course of his re-
marks, gave al account Of his visit to the
Association building at Lynchbu1g. and
of the great interest which had been deve-
loped in that city in connection with the
work.
Mr.. McIlhany added that he had receiv-
ed a letter from the Secretary there in
which he spoke of the numerous CONVEX
sions of young men which had taken place
through influences exerted upon them at
the Gymnasium of the Y. M. G, A.
The Reception given to the members of
the Association by the Ladies' Auxiliary
On Tuesday night, was well planned and
well carried out. The only trouble was a
lack Of room for the large company pres
emit, although the ladies had secured the
office of the City Clerk and had curtained
off part of the main hall of the Opera
House for the use of their guests. A new
feature of the entertainment was an open
ing piece played on comets by some pupils
of the D.. D. & B. Institutlon-very sweet
and appropriate music; also, a trio of
male voices in a comic song; ga little
farm we'll titled, }" &c. There was plenti-
full supply Of refreshments to which the
company did justice, Judging from the
long row of empty ice-cream freezers,
which caught our eye as we left the hall.
Ali were glad to see 50 many young men
present, a number Of whom had never been
seen at the rooms before. The following
is the program Me rendered at the Recep-
ton:
